Bury or Stop Northern Pass

Dear Governor Hassan,

We applaud your efforts to date to defend New Hampshire's natural and cultural heritage from the proposed Northern Pass transmission line. Please join us in making sure that our children and grandchildren can pass this vital heritage on to their children and grandchildren. Please ask Northeast Utilities and Hydro-Québec either to bury the entire project in New Hampshire or stop it altogether.  

Everywhere we look we see proposals for new high-voltage, direct current transmission lines.  In Maine, Vermont, and New York, new north-south high-voltage direct-current lines are being proposed completely underground or underwater; even Hydro-Québec itself is advancing an underground transmission project to connect with New York. Everywhere we look we see new, innovative underground transmission technology proposals.  Everywhere except New Hampshire.

Governor Hassan, before you host the New England Governors and the Eastern Canadian Premiers here in New Hampshire this July, please make it clear that New Hampshire welcomes each of them to our magnificent state. But please also convey the message that we will insist on smart, well-planned energy projects that advance a clean energy future and we will not welcome any overhead extension cords like Northern Pass that provide little benefit to the state, at the expense of our natural and scenic resources.

Sincerely,

Why is this important?

  • Scott Woodburyabout 11 years ago Epping NH
    The only reason to run through the mountains is to expand service to expand profit and revenue. Urban sprawl ends here! Protect our White Mountain National Forest from corporate profiteers trying to buy their way through our protected lands.
  • Bonnie Nicholsabout 11 years ago Bristol NH
    NH is a jewel we must keep for my grandchildren.
  • Robert Daneabout 11 years ago Newmarket NH
    New Hampshire is a bout unique natural beauty, let's keep it that way.
  • Wendy Merschabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    I love NH. It is that simple. This is not the renewable energy people think it is, become aware. Our landscapes will NEVER be returned if this happens. We need to think before acting and realize how this is actually going to harm NH's future.
  • Michael Pasquarellaabout 11 years ago The Villages FL
    As a 45 yr. resident of NH I have seen much un necessart loss of precious land in our state in the name of "growth and progress" but this scheme dwarfs them all. To what benefit to the people of NH and New England?
  • LARRY LADDabout 11 years ago STRATFORD NH
    We need to bury the line or not do this project at all. The promise of jobs is only short-term and most of them are specialized trained personnel. So, what's left. After they leave, you are stuck with ugly towers spoiling our scenic views.
  • Laurie Mailletteabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    NH's forest land needs our protection to preserve the beauty of our state.
  • John Kaplafkaabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    We should protect out State's natural resources and tourist economy from damage due to a project that will not help us in the long run.
  • Douglas Grayabout 11 years ago Landaff NH
    Never never should be allowed in the National Forest. Get real.
  • Kelly LaFaveabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    Burying the eye sores or passing on Northern Pass is for NH's future, and our childrens as well.We need to maintain the beauty we all cherish so much living here
  • Jane Scattergoodabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    I think that the project is worthwhile but extremely important to bury or stop Northern Pass
  • Eileen Brunkabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    We need to save our forests for future generations.
  • Jackie Smithabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    Because New Hampshire is more than just a special place. It's in our hearts. Once it's gone it's gone forever...
  • Nicole Marienabout 11 years ago Lincoln NH
    Please, don't let anyone destroy the natural beauty of our land. These towers do not belong here.
  • Matthew Verdonabout 11 years ago Dracut MA
    I still spend a lot of time in The Great North Woods Region and love it for its rustic, simple, and natural way of life. Adding overhead lines will not only compromise that but will take away most of the areas' integrity.
  • Phillip Piscopoabout 11 years ago Warren NH
    There are already too many obstructions!
  • elaine bernierabout 11 years ago gorham NH
    Life-long resident longing to maintain the beauty of my surroundings.-There are other options!
  • Charles Tathamabout 11 years ago Barington NH
    Very little
  • Larry Spencerabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    My property abuts the right-of-way. I don't want towers falling down on me as they did in Quebec in the 1998 ice storm
  • Jerilyn O'Hearnabout 11 years ago Northfield NH
    I have lived in New Hampshire all of my life. I do not want to destroy the pristine landscape that I have enjoyed.
  • Scott Adamsabout 11 years ago Belmont NH
    There is already a pass going from Hydro-Quebec To the Franklin area owed by a competing utility, they can share instead of defacing our state for there own financial gain.
  • Mary Jollesabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    I live in the North Country! The beauty of this wonderful area of our state will be ruined if high electric towers are built.
  • Edna Greenfieldabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    The Northern Pass will destroy wild life habitant, ugliness, tree distraction, loss of tourism. with no benefits for NH. All of these reasons are permanent.
  • Alison Abduabout 11 years ago Lexington MA
    Keep NH beautiful!
  • Susan Kingsburyabout 11 years ago Loudon NH
    New Hampshire is a place of beauty. Well known for its unlimited outside activities from hiking, boating, fishing and camping. People keep returning to enjoy this year after year. Let's not spoil this for them or us, who call NH home.
